2017 Corbières Rouge “Campagnès”
Maxime Magnon
Simply stunning. Garagiste Maxime Magnon’s single-vineyard Corbières is sourced from vines over one hundred years old! Floral aromatics prime the palate for great expectations, and the Campagnès certainly delivers. Characteristic Carignan spice and grip are artfully complemented by unusually fresh notes of fleshy, dark cherry fruit. Try chilling it for a few minutes to see what I mean.

About The Producer
Maxime Magnon
That Maxime Magnon is part of one of the most revolutionary wine movements in France should give him a justifiable swagger to his step, yet he is nonetheless a reluctant hero. This Burgundian was not born with hereditary rights to a domaine, but makes his own wine in the Corbières A.O.C. instead. He purchased some prime parcels of old vines from abandoned plots and rents his cellar—a garagiste if ever there was one. He farms over eleven hectares, with steep vineyards that reach high altitudes, and manages it all on his own. Maxime is part of the new wave of passionate viticulteurs who cultivate their vines with the utmost respect for nature and the soil. His wines offer great expression of fruit with immediate approachability.More from or France

Kermit once said...
I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
